Both β-caryophyllene (BCP) and β-caryophyllene oxide (BCPO) possess significant anticancer activities, affecting growth and proliferation of numerous cancer cells. BCP as selective CB2 activator may be taken into account as potential natural analgesic drug. Moreover, due to the fact that chronic pain is often an element of cancer disease, the double activity of BCP, anticancer and analgesic, as well as its beneficial influence on the efficacy of classical chemotherapeutics, is particularly valuable in oncology.
